Come and visit one of Wave’s three Soft Play themed adventure zones – have fun with Dinosaurs in Seaford, or explore a Magic Castle in Peacehaven or visit our Ocean Adventure in Lewes, a fun-packed soft play area over three levels for children under 8, with interactive sounds and a dedicated area for toddlers.

Packed with lots of fun and exciting things to do, each soft play is ideal for a weekend visit, a perfect choice for some after school play time or, for our younger guests, a great place to visit and discover during school term-time when it’s a bit quieter.

Swimming can be a wonderful recreational activity for individuals and families. The pool makes a great playground and a great gym. There is so much more on offer now in our pools from aqua-aerobics to swimming lessons, diving to inflatable fun sessions. But that’s not all. Swimming keeps the body fit and healthy, and helps to fight the health risks of obesity and an inactive lifestyle – and children who keep fit and healthy tend to do better academically.

Learning to swim is not only fun and healthy, it is a life skill. Living in a costal location, our children are exposed to the dangers of water. By learning to swim they learn about the dangers of water and how to be safe around and in it.

Wave designs, develops and provides activities which are tailored to meet the needs of the growing aging population of the Lewes District area. Wave’s Older People’s activities are inclusive of our outreach work and provided opportunities for increased participation and wellbeing. Our activity calendar includes 24 weekly timetabled sessions which are specifically designed to help support participation of those over 65 years of age. These sessions are at various levels of intensity and range from gentle exercise, such as Chair-Based Exercise and Strength and Balance classes, to higher intensity such as Pickle Ball, Table Tennis and Senior Gym sessions.
